Verdict

FAITHFULFLYER seemed to relish the step up in trip when scoring at Musselburgh last time and, despite this slightly shorter distance, he's likely to improve enough to follow up. Economic Editor is a danger despite being wrong at the weights and recent Hexham scorer Lewa House deserves respect.
